Bill re-tweeted a fairly typical-of-the-breed "Message to all cyclists: You don't have insurance. You don't pay road tax. Therefore, you DO NOT have any right of way or control the road!"
This was from a 23 year old civil engineer called Josh Venes.
Now, of course Josh is a total, utter cunt- that's beyond question.
And, of course, there was a certain amount of badinage between Josh, his hench-people, and cyclists in general on Twitter.
His position is unchanged, and blood pressures around London in the graphic design and wannabe same-day parcel delivery industries have risen.
So- I was wondering (not that seriously, but still wondering) about challenging Josh to a race.
To be fair, one race should be on bikes, the other in cars.
I was thinking ROTFL for the bikes, and a "run what you brung" day at Santa Pod for the cars.
Condition is that Josh needs to prove he owned whatever car he uses on the day he tweeted his anti-cyclist polemic.
Reckon it'd be fun?
